    Localization of the centriole and keratin intermediate filaments in PtK1 cells by double immunofluorescence (1984)

    Notes: We present observations on the relative location of the centriole and keratin filament cap in motile PtK1 cells. Subconfluent cells were double labeled with anticentriole and antikeratin sera. These preparations revealed that the centriole is separate from, but neighboring, the keratin filament cap. Serial ultrathin sections confirm this observation. These observations are consistent with the idea that the microtubule organizing center and intermediate filament distribution center are not identical or concentric in PtK1 cells.

    Dynamics of keratin filaments and the intermediate filament distribution center during shape change in PtK1 cells (1984)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Reorganization of intermediate filaments during cell spreading is examined by immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and time-lapse video microscopy. A juxtanuclear cap, believed to correspond to the intermediate filament distribution center, was observed to be spatially related to the organization of the intermediate filament network as cells spread. A keratin cap was observed, which appeared spontaneously in motile PtK1 cells. Cap formation may be a consequence of retraction of intermediate filaments from the cytoplasm as cells move. The position of this juxtanuclear cap is related to the direction of movement, located on the side of the nucleus near the advancing edge of the cell. As the cell spreads, the cap disappears as the keratin filament network returns to the cytoplasm. Evidence presented here is consistent with the hypothesis that the distribution center mediates keratin filament organization during cell shape change.

    Alteration of the distribution of intermediate filaments in PtK1 cells by acrylamide II: Effect on the organization of cytoplasmic organelles (1986)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: The distribution and motility of cytoplasmic particles was examined in PtK1 cells in which intermediate filament networks had been disrupted by acrylamide. In these cells, particles (mitochondria and vesicles) accumulated near the cell center although saltatory movements continued. This left a broad sheet of agranular cytoplasm at the periphery of the cell. Particles were capable of movement into this sheet. Intermediate filaments were absent in the peripheral cytoplasm although microtubules remained in a normal configuration. Particles apparently move along the microtubules. These results indicate that particle movement along microtubules is not dependent upon the normal configuration of intermediate filaments. It is suggested that intermediate filaments are necessary for normal organelle distribution and serve as a matrix with which particles can associate to maintain position.

    Acrylamide treatment of PtKl cells causes dephosphorylation of keratin polypeptides (1988)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Treatment of PtKl cells with 5 mM acrylamide for 4 hr results in alterations in the distribution of keratin filaments within the cells. This effect is reversible within 18 hr. Labeling of PtKl cells with 32P demonstrates that there are four phosphorylated keratins, having Mr of 56 k, 53 k, 45 k, and 40 k. Phosphate associated with these polypeptides appears to turn over with a t1/2 of 12 hr. Incubation of labeled cells in 5 mM acrylamide results in approximately 50% dephosphorylation of keratins within 2 hr, which is 3 times faster than normal turnover. Recovery of cells from acrylamide is accompanied by rephosphorylation of keratins within 18 hr. Analysis by 31P NMR spectroscopy shows that acrylamide treatments are accompanied by a transient decrease in soluble inorganic phosphate. This is followed by a rapid increase in Pi which gradually returns to normal levels. These studies show a strong correlation between phosphorylation of PtKl cell keratins and morphological response of keratin filaments to acrylamide. These observations suggest that normal distribution of keratin filaments may be, in part, mediated by protein phosphorylation.
